It's everywhere

 Good morning. I often wake up with an idea for a blog post. I work it out in my head before I sit down at the computer. I collect bits and bobs in my draft folder, which can be useful for pulling something out when no new ideas have emerged. 

I had it worked out for this morning. Something quick and easy before I go to Coffee Morning at the club. But then I dip into social media and that changes everything. It's all very well to insert a few distractions into a blog, something frivolous or amusing, but at the end of the day we can't go on ignoring what is ultimately going to be the downfall and collapse of the world as we know it. It probably won't happen in our life time but things will definitely change for our children and grandchildren. 

I have a contact in South Africa. We were truckers together through the eighties and nineties. She went to SA to make a new life for herself. She is still there. This morning I received a message from her. She follows someone who it seems is fighting against the corrupt establishment. This statement mirrors our situation. No names. 

Our leaders are either devils, cowards, weaklings or are just hopelessly misguided. All of them prioritize their parties over South Africa. They are not attached to this country as you and I are. They are paid to be disconnected and only know South Africa through the foggy lenses of their party's policy book. These people are hollow - there is nothing there! Yet here you are, ready to surrender your faith unto the hands of men and women who only see you as an X next to their name.

If you join the dots it all clicks into place. What is happening here is happening everywhere. 

Now I must get my breakfast. See ya later. Toodle pip.   ilona
